2022 Legislative Update Provided by Townsend Public Affairs
Statement of Issue:
The City's consultant, Townsend Public Affairs, Inc., will present an update detailing the 2022
Legislative session, as well as its impact to City operations and strategic plan priorities.
Financial Impact:
Not applicable
Recommended Action:
Receive and file the 2022 Legislative Update.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommended action, and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The Intergovernmental Relations Committee (IRC), a City Council subcommittee, convenes monthly
to discuss pending legislation and its potential impacts to the City of Huntington Beach and its
strategic plan priorities. As Assembly, Senate, and Federal bills pertinent to City business pass
through their respective legislatures, the IRC studies whether the City may want to take an official
position on any specific item. Thereafter, these recommended legislative items are brought forth to
City Council to formalize a stance. The IRC focuses its scope to align with the City Council Strategic
Plan Priorities.
Many bills were supported and opposed by City Council prompting letters to founding authors and
even the governor. In 2022, the IRC brought forth legislation for consideration at four City Council
meetings.
For example the City Council voted in favor of AB 2496 (Petrie-Norris) to curb loud vehicle noise. The

legislation was approved this fall.
Two influential bills opposed by City Council were AB 2011 (Wicks) and SB 6 (Caballero), which have
impacts on by-right-zoning and housing mandates. City Council issued letters of opposition to the bill
authors and as issued letters of veto to the Governor. Ultimately those bills were signed into law in
fall 2022.
The presentation tonight will focus on the efforts the IRC has undertaken during 2022 and legislation
ahead in 2023.

Summary: The Planning and Zoning Law requires each county and city to adopt a comprehensive,
long-term general plan for the physical development of the county or city, and specified land outside its
boundaries, that includes, among other mandatory elements, a housing element. For the 4th and
subsequent revisions of the housing element, existing law requires the Department of Housing and
Community Development to determine the existing and projected need for housing for each region.
Current law requires the appropriate council of governments, or the department for cities and counties
without a council of governments, to adopt a final regional housing need plan that allocates a share of
the regional housing need to each city, county, or city and county, as provided. Current law requires
that the final regional housing plan adopted by a council of governments, or a delegate subregion, as
applicable, be based on a methodology that includes specified factors, and similarly requires that the
department take into consideration specified factors in distributing regional housing need, as provided.
Commencing January 1, 2025, this bill would instead require a council of governments or a delegate
subregion to consider including specified factors in developing the above-mentioned methodology.

Summary: Current law, commonly referred to as the Density Bonus Law, requires a city or county to
provide a developer that proposes a housing development within the city or county with a density
bonus and other incentives or concessions, as specified, if the developer agrees to construct specified
percentages of units for lower income, very low income, or senior citizen housing, among other things,
and meets other requirements. Previously existing law, until January 1, 2022, required a city, county, or
city and county to grant a commercial developer a development bonus, as specified, when an applicant
for approval of a commercial development had entered into an agreement for partnered housing with
an affordable housing developer to contribute affordable housing through a joint project or 2 separate
projects encompassing affordable housing. This bill would reenact the above-described provisions
regarding the granting of development bonuses to certain projects. The bill would require a city or
county to annually submit to the Department of Housing and Community Development information
describing an approved commercial development bonus.

Summary: Current law requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to acquire, study, design, develop,
construct, and equip a state-owned and state-operated Southern California Veterans Cemetery in the
County of Orange at one of 2 possible sites, as specified. Current law requires the department to,
after completing acquisition studies on both sites, consult with the Department of General Services to
determine which site to pursue based on the economic feasibility, benefits to veterans and City of
Irvine residents, and availability of each location. Current law makes honorably discharged veterans,
their spouses, and dependent children eligible for interment in the cemetery, as specified. This bill
would delete those site selection requirements and would instead require the department to acquire,

study, design, develop, construct, and equip a state-owned and state-operated Southern California
Veterans Cemetery in the County of Orange. The bill would require the department to conduct an

Summary: The Lem pert-Keene-Seastrand Oil Spill Prevention and Response Act generally requires the
administrator for oil spill response, who is the head of the Office of Spill Prevention and Response in
the Department of Fish and Wildlife, to implement activities relating to oil spill response, including drills
and preparedness, and oil spill containment and cleanup. The act requires the administrator, taking
into consideration the California oil spill contingency plan, to promulgate regulations regarding the
adequacy of oil spill elements of area plans adopted pursuant to specified existing law. The act
authorizes the administrator to offer, to a unified program agency with jurisdiction over or directly
adjacent to waters of the state, a grant to complete, update, or revise an oil spill element of the area
plan. The act requires each oil spill element prepared under those provisions to be consistent with the
local government's local coastal program, the California oil spill contingency plan, and the National
Contingency Plan. This bill would additionally require that each oil spill element prepared under those
provisions be consistent with the area contingency plan.

Summary: Current law establishes a workers' compensation system, administered by the
Administrative Director of the Division of Workers' Compensation, to compensate an employee, as
defined, for injuries sustained in the course of employment. Current law defines "injury" for an
employee to include illness or death resulting from the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
under specified circumstances, until January 1, 2023. Current law creates a disputable presumption, as
specified, that the injury arose out of and in the course of the employment and is compensable, for
specified dates of injury. Current law requires an employee to exhaust their paid sick leave benefits
and meet specified certification requirements before receiving any temporary disability benefits or, for
Page 3/25
209
police officers, firefighters, and other specified employees, a leave of absence. Current law also make a
claim relating to a COVID-19 illness presumptively compensable, as described above, after 30 days or
45 days, rather than 90 days. Current law, until January 1, 2023, allows for a presumption of injury for
all employees whose fellow employees at their place of employment experience specified levels of
positive testing, and whose employer has 5 or more employees. This bill would extend the above-
described provisions relating to COVID-19 until January 1, 2024. The bill would also expand the above-
described provisions applicable to firefighters and police officers to include active firefighting members
of a fire department at the State Department of State Hospitals, the State Department of
Developmental Services, the Military Department, and the Department of Veterans Affairs and to
officers of a state hospital under the jurisdiction of the State Department of State Hospitals and the
State Department of Developmental Services.

Summary: Current law makes a local trustee of granted public trust lands, as defined, a trustee of
state lands and confers upon that trustee specified powers regarding the leasing or granting of rights
or privileges in relation to those lands. When it appears to be in the public interest, existing law
authorizes the State Lands Commission to grant by competitive bidding leases for the extraction of
minerals other than oil and gas from tidelands and submerged lands of the state under specified
circumstances. This bill would repeal that authorization and would instead prohibit the commission or a
local trustee of granted public trust lands from granting leases or issuing permits for the extraction or
removal of hard minerals, as defined, from state waters subject to tidal influence, except as provided.
The bill would also set forth legislative findings and declarations and make a conforming change.

Summary: The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 requires a city, county, or city and
county, or regional agency formed under the act, to develop a source reduction and recycling element
of an integrated waste management plan containing specified components. The act requires those
jurisdictions to divert 50% of the solid waste subject to the element, except as specified, through
source reduction, recycling, and composting activities. The act allows the 50% diversion requirement to
include not more than 10% through transformation, as defined, if specified conditions are met. This bill
would repeal the provision authorizing the inclusion of not more than 10% of the diversion through
transformation. Because the bill would require local agencies to revise the source reduction and
recycling elements of their integrated waste management plans, this bill would impose a state-
mandated local program.

Summary: Current law generally regulates the operation of bicycles upon a highway. A violation of
these provisions, generally, is punishable as an infraction. Current law prohibits the operation of a
motorized bicycle or a class 3 electric bicycle on a bicycle path or trail, bikeway, bicycle lane, equestrian
trail, or hiking or recreational trail, as specified. Current law authorizes a local authority to additionally
prohibit the operation of class 1 and class 2 electric bicycles on these facilities. This bill would remove
the prohibition of class 3 electric bicycles on these facilities and would instead authorize a local
authority to prohibit the operation of any electric bicycle or any class of electric bicycle on an
equestrian trail, or hiking or recreational trail.

Summary: Current law requires, no later than January 1, 2018, the State Air Resources Board to
approve and begin implementing a comprehensive short-lived climate pollutant strategy to achieve a
reduction in statewide emissions of methane by 40%, hydrofluorocarbon gases by 40%, and
anthropogenic black carbon by 50% below 2013 levels by 2030. Current law requires the methane
emissions reduction goals to include a 50% reduction in the level of the statewide disposal of organic
waste from the 2014 level by 2020 and a 75% reduction by 2025. Current law requires the
Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, in consultation with the state board, to adopt
regulations to achieve these organic waste reduction goals that include, among other things,
requirements intended to meet the goal that not less than 20% of edible food that is currently
disposed of be recovered for human consumption by 2025 and that may include penalties to be
imposed by the department for noncompliance, as provided. The department's regulations provide for,
among other things, the calculation by the department of recovered organic waste product
procurement targets for each local jurisdiction. This bill would require any penalties imposed by the
department on a local jurisdiction that fails to meet its recovered organic waste procurement target to
be imposed pursuant to a specified schedule based on the percentage of the local jurisdiction's
recovered organic waste product procurement target achieved. The bill would exempt jurisdictions in
possession of a specified rural exemption from these requirements until December 31, 2026.

Summary: Current law requires the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery to implement
various state programs designed to encourage the reduction of solid waste, including, among others,
a source reduction and recycling program for school districts, recycling programs designed to divert
commercial solid waste and organic waste from businesses, defined to include public agencies, and
requirements for state agencies and large state facilities to arrange for recycling services, as provided.
This bill would require a jurisdiction or a public agency, as defined, to post on its internet website all
current franchise agreements between contract solid waste and recycling haulers and the jurisdiction
or the public agency. The bill would require the jurisdiction and the public agency to provide to the
department the direct electronic link to those posted franchise agreements. The bill would require the
department to create and maintain a publicly accessible database that provides direct electronic links
to the posted franchise agreements. By imposing additional requirements on local agencies, the bill
would create a state-mandated local program.

Summary: The California Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1973 requires employers to comply
with certain standards ensuring healthy and safe working conditions, as specified, and charges the

Summary: The Planning and Zoning Law requires each county and city to adopt a comprehensive,
long-term general plan for its physical development, and the development of certain lands outside its
boundaries, that includes, among other mandatory elements, a land use element, and a conservation
element. Current law also authorizes the legislative body of a city or a county to adopt ordinances
establishing requirements for parking, and permits variances to be granted from the parking
requirements of a zoning ordinance for nonresidential development if the variance will be an incentive
to the development and the variance will facilitate access to the development by patrons of public
transit facilities. This bill would prohibit a public agency from imposing any minimum automobile parking
requirement on any residential, commercial, or other development project, as defined, that is located
within 1/2 mile of public transit, as defined. The bill, notwithstanding the above-described prohibition,
would authorize a city, county, or city and county to impose or enforce minimum automobile parking
requirements on a housing development project if the public agency makes written findings, within 30
days of the receipt of a completed application, that not imposing or enforcing minimum automobile
parking requirements on the development would have a substantially negative impact, supported by a
preponderance of the evidence in the record, on the public agency's ability to meet its share of

Summary: The Housing Accountability Act, among other things, prohibits a local agency from
disapproving, or conditioning approval in a manner that renders infeasible, specified housing
development projects, including projects for very low, low, or moderate-income households and
projects for emergency shelters, that comply with applicable, objective general plan, zoning, and
subdivision standards and criteria in effect at the time the application for the project is deemed
complete, unless the local agency makes specified written findings supported by a preponderance of
the evidence in the record. The act authorizes a project applicant, a person who would be eligible to
apply for residency in the housing development or emergency shelter, or a housing organization to
bring a lawsuit to enforce its provisions. This bill would require a local agency to compile a list of
information needed to approve or deny a postentitlement phase permit, as defined, to post an
example of a complete, approved application and an example of a complete set of postentitlement
phase permits for at least 5 types of housing development projects, as defined, in the jurisdiction, as
specified, and to make those items available to all applicants for these permits no later than January 1,

Summary: Would require a traffic-actuated signal to be installed and maintained to have a leading
pedestrian interval, and to include the installation, activation, and maintenance of an accessible
pedestrian signal and detector, upon the first placement or replacement of a state-owned or operated
traffic-actuated signal. The bill would also require an existing state-owned or operated traffic-actuated
signal capable of being implemented with remote installation or in-person programming to be
programmed with a leading pedestrian interval when maintenance work is done on the intersection in
which the traffic-actuated signal is located, if the signal is in a residential, business, or business activity
district, a safety corridor, a school zone, or an area with a high concentration of pedestrians and
cyclists, as specified. These requirements would not apply when prohibited by the California Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The bill would, for these purposes, define a "leading pedestrian
interval" as an official traffic control signal that advances the "WALK" signal for 3 to 7 seconds while
the red signal halting traffic continues to be displayed on parallel through or turning traffic, and define
"accessible pedestrian signal and detector" as an integrated device that communicates information
about the "WALK" and "DON'T WALK" intervals at signalized intersections in nonvisual formats,
including audible tones, speech messages, and vibrotactile surfaces, to pedestrians who are blind or

requirements consistent, compliant, and in conformity with local development standards, zoning codes
or maps, and the general plan. The bill, among other things, would authorize the land used for the
development of the housing development to be jointly used or jointly occupied by the local educational
agency and any other party, subject to specified requirements. The bill would exempt a housing
development project subject to these provisions from various requirements regarding the disposal of
surplus land. The bill would make these provisions effective on January 1, 2024, except that the bill
would require the Department of Housing and Community Development to provide a specified notice to

Summary: The Density Bonus Law requires a city or county to provide a developer that proposes a
housing development within the city or county with a density bonus and other incentives or
concessions, as specified, if the developer agrees to construct specified percentages of units for lower
income, very low income, or senior citizen housing, among other things, and meets other
requirements. Current law requires that an applicant agree to, and the city, county, or city and county
ensure, the continued affordability of all very low and low-income rental units that qualified the
applicant for a density bonus, as provided. Current law, for developments where 100% of all units are
for lower income households, except as provided, requires that rent for 20% of the units be set at an
affordable rent and that rent for the remaining units be at an amount consistent with the maximum
rent levels for a housing development that receives an allocation of state or federal low-income
housing tax credits from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC). Current law, with
respect to a for-sale unit that qualified the applicant for a density bonus, also requires that the local
government enforce an equity sharing agreement, as provided, unless it is in conflict with the
requirements of another public funding source or law. This bill, with respect to the affordability
requirements applicable to 100% lower income developments, would instead require the rent for the
remaining units in the development be set at an amount consistent with the maximum rent levels for
lower income households, as those rents and incomes are determined by CTCAC.

Summary: Current law, the Ralph M. Brown Act, requires, with specified exceptions, that all meetings

72 hours before a regular meeting that contains a brief general description of each item of business to
be transacted or discussed at the meeting, and prohibits any action or discussion from being
undertaken on any item not appearing on the posted agenda. This bill would revise and recast those
teleconferencing provisions and, until January 1, 2026, would authorize a local agency to use
teleconferencing without complying with the teleconferencing requirements that each teleconference
location be identified in the notice and agenda and that each teleconference location be accessible to

Summary: Current law requires every motor vehicle subject to registration to be equipped with an
adequate muffler in constant operation and properly maintained to prevent any excessive or unusual
noise and prohibits a muffler or exhaust system from being equipped with a cutout, bypass, or similar
device. Current law further prohibits the modification of an exhaust system of a motor vehicle in a
manner that will amplify or increase the noise emitted by the motor of the vehicle so that the vehicle
exceeds existing noise limits when tested in accordance with specified standards. Current law
establishes the motor vehicle inspection program, which provides for privately operated stations that
are referred to as smog check stations and are authorized to issue certificates of compliance or
noncompliance to vehicles that meet certain requirements. Current law requires a certain number of
stations providing referee functions available to consumers, which ensures uniform and consistent
tests and repairs by all qualified smog check technicians and licensed smog check stations throughout
the state. Current law requires stations providing referee functions to provide for the testing of
vehicular exhaust systems and the issuance of certificates of compliance for those vehicles that have
received a citation for the noise limit violations described above. This bill would require a court to
require a certificate of compliance for a violation of the noise limit requirements mentioned above for
specified vehicles. The bill would require the court to utilize the notification procedures mentioned
above and if a certificate of compliance is not provided to the court within 3 months of the violation
date, the bill would require the court to treat this failure as noncompliance and inform the Department
of Motor Vehicles by following specified procedures.

occur, including that the successor agency for the former redevelopment agency created by the city or
county has received a finding of completion, as specified. This bill would, notwithstanding those
provisions, authorize the City of Selma to initiate, participate in, govern, or finance an enhanced
infrastructure financing district if those specified events have occurred, except the requirement to have
received a finding of completion, and if the City of Selma, acting as the successor agency to the former

Summary: The Diablo Canyon nuclear powerplant, composed of Reactor Units 1 and 2, is operated by
the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, an electrical corporation, in the County of San Luis Obispo. On
January 11, 2018, the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) approved the Pacific Gas and Electric
Company's proposal to retire Unit 1 in 2024 and Unit 2 in 2025. This bill would invalidate the PUC's
approval of that proposal and would require the PUC to set new retirement dates for the Diablo
Canyon powerplant, as provided, conditioned upon the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission
extending the powerplant's operating licenses, as specified. The bill would require the PUC to take
certain actions to enable the operator of the Diablo Canyon powerplant to recover the reasonable
costs and expenses of operating the Diablo Canyon powerplant, as provided, including the imposition
of a fully nonbypassable charge on all customers of electrical corporations, electric service providers,
and community choice aggregators, and would require the PUC to authorize the operator to recover in

Summary: Current law authorizes the legislative body of a city or a county to establish an enhanced
infrastructure financing district to finance public capital facilities or other specified projects of
communitywide significance, including projects that enable communities to adapt to the impacts of
climate change. Current law also requires the legislative body to establish a public financing authority,
defined as the governing board of the enhanced infrastructure financing district, prior to the adoption
of a resolution to form an enhanced infrastructure district and adopt an infrastructure financing plan.
This bill would authorize a city, county, city and county, special district, or a combination of any of those
entities to form a climate resilience district, as defined, for the purposes of raising and allocating
funding for eligible projects and the operating expenses of eligible projects. The bill would deem each
district to be an enhanced infrastructure financing district and would require each district to comply
with existing law concerning enhanced infrastructure financing districts, except as specified. The bill
would require a district to finance only specified projects that meet the definition of an eligible project.
The bill would define "eligible project" to mean projects that address sea level rise, extreme heat,
extreme cold, the risk of wildfire, drought, and the risk of flooding, as specified.

Summary: Would require the Public Utilities Commission to establish an expedited utility distribution
infrastructure undergrounding program, and would authorize only those electrical corporations with
250,000 or more customer accounts within the state to participate in the program. In order to
Page 15/25
221
participate in the program, the bill would require a large electrical corporation to submit a distribution
infrastructure undergrounding plan, including the undergrounding projects located in tier 2 or 3 high
fire-threat districts or rebuild areas that it will construct as part of the program, to the Office of Energy
Infrastructure Safety, which would be required to approve or deny the plan within 9 months. If the
office approves the large electrical corporation's plan, the bill would require the large electrical
corporation to submit to the commission a copy of the plan and an application requesting review and
conditional approval of the plan's costs and would require the commission to approve or deny the plan
within 9 months. If the plan is approved by the office and commission, the bill would require the large
electrical corporation to file specified progress reports, include additional information in its wildfire
mitigation plans, hire an independent monitor to review and assess its compliance with its plan, apply
for available federal, state, and other nonratepayer moneys throughout the duration of the approved
plan, and use those nonratepayer moneys to reduce the program's costs on its ratepayers, as
specified. The bill would authorize the commission to assess penalties on a large electrical corporation
that fails to substantially comply with the commission decision approving its plan.

a university housing development project, as defined, carried out by a public university, as defined, on
real property owned by the public university if the project meets certain requirements, including that
each building within the project is certified as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
platinum or better by the United States Green Building Council, that the project's construction impacts
are fully mitigated, and that the project is not located, in whole or in part, on certain types of sites,
including a site that is within a special flood hazard area subject to inundation by a 1% annual chance
flood or within a regulatory floodway as determined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency,
as provided. The bill, with respect to a site that is within a special flood hazard area subject to
inundation by a 1% annual chance flood or within a regulatory floodway, would prohibit a local
government from denying an application on the basis that a public university did not comply with any
additional permit requirement, standard, or action adopted by that local government applicable to the
site if the public university is able to satisfy all applicable federal qualifying criteria in order to
demonstrate that the site meets these criteria and is otherwise eligible to be exempt from CEQA
pursuant to the above requirements. By imposing additional duties on local governments, this bill
would impose a state-mandated local program.

Summary: The California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act establishes the
California Beverage Container Recycling Fund and, except for civil penalties, fines, and administrative
costs, continuously appropriates moneys in the fund to the department for specified purposes,
including the amount necessary to pay handling fees to supermarket sites, nonprofit convenience zone
recyclers, and rural region recyclers to provide an incentive for the redemption of empty beverage
containers in convenience zones. The act defines "nonprofit convenience zone recycler" for its
purposes to mean a recycling center that meets one of 2 sets of criteria, one of which is a recycling
center that is operated by a nonprofit organization and has operated in the same location for a period
of not less than 5 years, that is certified by the department, and that is located within one mile of a
supermarket that is in an exempt convenience zone. This bill would revise the criteria for, and expand
the above definition of, a nonprofit convenience zone recycler by deleting the requirement that the
recycling center operate in the same location for a period of not less than 5 years and allowing the
recycling center to be located within 2 miles, rather than one mile, of a supermarket that is in an

law establishes, beginning January 1, 2025, the greater of 52.5 gallons per capita daily or a standard
recommended by the department and the board as the standard for indoor residential water use, and
beginning January 1, 2030, establishes the greater of 50 gallons per capita daily or a standard
recommended by the department and the board as the standard for indoor residential water use.
Current law requires the board, in coordination with the department, to adopt by regulation variances
recommended by the department and guidelines and methodologies pertaining to the calculation of an
urban retail water supplier's urban water use objective recommended by the department. This bill
would eliminate the option of using the greater of 52.5 gallons per capita daily and the greater of 50
gallons per capita daily, as applicable, or a standard recommended by the department and the board
as the standard for indoor residential water use. The bill would instead require that from January 1,
2025, to January 1, 2030, the standard for indoor residential water use be 47 gallons per capita daily
and beginning January 1, 2030, the standard be 42 gallons per capita daily.

Summary: Would, contingent upon the State Department of Health Care Services developing an
allocation to provide financial assistance to counties, enact the Community Assistance, Recovery, and
Empowerment (CARE) Act, which would authorize specified adult persons to petition a civil court to
create a voluntary CARE agreement or a court-ordered CARE plan and implement services, to be
provided by county behavioral health agencies, to provide behavioral health care, including
stabilization medication, housing, and other enumerated services to adults who are currently
experiencing a severe mental illness and have a diagnosis identified in the disorder class
schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, and who meet other specified criteria. The bill would
require the Counties of Glenn, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, Stanislaus, and Tuolumne and the City
and County of San Francisco to implement the program commencing October 1, 2023, and the
remaining counties to commence no later than December 1, 2024. The bill would require the Judicial
Council to develop a mandatory form for use in filing a CARE process petition and would specify the
process by which the petition is filed and reviewed, including requiring the petition to be signed under
penalty of perjury, and to contain specified information, including the facts that support the petitioner's

1st House I 2nd House Conc.
Summary: The California Constitution generally limits the maximum rate of ad valorem tax on real
property to 1% of the full cash value of the property and defines "full cash value" for these purposes
as the appraised value of real property when purchased, newly constructed, or a change in ownership
has occurred after the 1975 assessment. Pursuant to constitutional authorization, existing property
tax law excludes from the definition of"newly constructed" for these purposes the construction or
addition of any active solar energy system, as defined, through the 2023-24 fiscal year. Under existing
property tax law, this exclusion remains in effect only until there is a subsequent change in ownership,
but an active solar energy system that qualifies for the exclusion before January 1, 2025, will continue
to receive the exclusion until there is a subsequent change in ownership. Existing law repeals this
exclusion on January 1, 2025.This bill would extend the exclusion described above through the 2025-
26 fiscal year, and would extend the repeal date to January 1, 2027. This bill contains other related
provisions and other existing laws.

Summary: Would authorize a city, county, or city and county to use the design-build contracting
process to award contracts for constructing projects that are necessary in order to comply with
construction-related accessibility standards, as specified. By expanding design-build authority to
include additional projects, the bill would expand the scope of the crime of perjury, thereby imposing a
state-mandated local program.

Summary: Current law prescribes requirements for the disposal of surplus land by a local agency, as
defined. Current law provides that certain dispositions of real property by local agencies are subject to
surplus land disposal procedures as they existed on December 31, 2019, without regard to specified
amendments that took effect on January 1, 2020, if those dispositions comply with specified
requirements and the disposition is completed not later than December 31, 2022. Current law extends
the date that the disposition must be completed by to December 31, 2024, for specified properties,
including properties related to the Metro North Hollywood Joint Development Project. Current law
further extends the dates by which the disposition of property must be completed, as specified, if the
disposition of property, the local agency's right or ability to dispose of the property, or a development
project for which the property is proposed to be transferred, is the subject of judicial challenge. This
Page 23/25
229
bill would extend the date by which the disposition of property must be completed to December 31,
2024, if the property is located in a charter city with a population of over 2,000,000 persons and a
local agency has an option agreement duly authorized by the local agency's governing body to
purchase the property from the former redevelopment agency.

Summary: The Political Reform Act of 1974 prohibits an officer of an agency from accepting, soliciting,
or directing a contribution of more than $250 from any party, participant, or a party or participant's
agent, while a proceeding involving a license, permit, or other entitlement for use is pending before
the agency and for 3 months following the date a final decision is rendered in the proceeding, if the
officer knows or has reasons to know that the participant has financial interest, as defined. The act
also prohibits a party, participant, or participant's agent from making a contribution of more than $250
to an officer of the agency during the proceeding and 3 months following the date a final decision is
rendered. The act defines "agency" for these purposes to mean any state or local government agency,
except certain entities, including local government agencies whose members are directly elected by the
voters. This bill would remove the exception for local government agencies, thereby subjecting them to
the prohibition described above. The bill would extend the prohibition on contributions from 3 to 12
months following the date a final decision is rendered in the proceeding. The bill would permit an
officer who does not willfully and knowingly accept, solicit, or direct a prohibited contribution to cure
the violation by returning it. The bill would require the party to a proceeding to disclose whether the
party or the party's agent has made a contribution of more than $250 in the 12 months before the
proceeding.

Summary: Would declare that it is the public policy of the state that the State Department of Health
Care Services when revising, adopting, or establishing policies, regulations, or grant program criteria
relating to access to behavioral health-related treatment, housing that heals, or other services or
supports, are required to ensure that any individual with a severe behavioral health disorder who, as
a result, lacks supportive housing and behavioral health services and is otherwise not living safely in
the community receives an individualized, clinically appropriate range of behavioral health-related
treatment, housing that heals, as defined, and other services or supports. The bill would specify that
these provisions do not expand any obligation of the state or other entities to provide access to
services or supports beyond requiring the department to consider the state policy, as specified.

Summary: Current law requires the California Building Standards Commission to approve and adopt
building standards and to codify those standards in the California Building Standards Code. Current
law requires the commission to adopt, approve, codify, and publish mandatory building standards for
the installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure for parking spaces in multifamily dwellings and
nonresidential development. Current law requires the Department of Housing and Community
Development to propose to the commission for consideration mandatory building standards for the
installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure for parking spaces in multifamily dwellings and
submit the proposed mandatory building standards. Current law requires the department and the
commission, in proposing and adopting these standards, to actively consult with specified parties. This
bill, for purposes of the requirements described above, would require the Department of Housing and
Community Development to research and develop, and would authorize the department to propose to
the commission for adoption, mandatory building standards for parking spaces in multifamily dwellings
that achieve specified objectives. In this regard, the bill would require those mandatory building
standards to require that each multifamily dwelling unit with access to parking have at least one
parking space served by a dedicated branch circuit terminating in a receptacle or an electric vehicle
charging station and to include specified signage.
